Jethro the Fisherman

My friend Jethro is a fishaholic. Until now there was only one problem with his obsession, he had never been fly fishing. We couldn't have that now, so we got together last week and fished the Middle Provo one evening. He landed some nice fish including a nice rainbow for his first fish (pictured above). He had some dry fly action on top, and except for the 30 minute hike back to the car (bushwhacking through the pitch black night) everything went really well. Jethro now has a new hobby, and unfortunately for his wife he is on the path to becoming a Trout Bum which will undoubtedly waste more time than all of his previous hobbies combined. Sorry Tracy but he is a goner for sure!
